A 33-metre Brodie Croft field goal that fortuitously ricocheted off the post and over the crossbar has seen the Melbourne Storm sneak away with a 13-12 win versus the New Zealand Warriors at AAMI Park on Anzac Day.

Trailing 12-10 with five minutes remaining, a penalty in front of the sticks allowed Storm pivot Cameron Munster to pot two points from the tee and lock the scores.

Directed by skipper and hooker Cameron Smith, the Storm barrelled into Warriors territory on the next set before Croft kicked his second career one-pointer in the 77th minute to get the men in purple home.
